They sure are.. after I loaded the JJ KT-77s in the VHT 2502 I have, it sounds even better.. even tighter and more evil sounding.

The VHT cab put both of the Mesa Traditional and Marshall JCM800 cabs to shame. The VHT cab sounds ALOT tighter, clearer and more aggressive overall.


Cheers

I noticed you've put all your rack gear now in a single rack case. Did you decide that having all those empty spaces for cooling was unecessary?

Well.. I mainly put everything in 1 case for portability sake. Everytime we played a gig, it took too much space having 2 cases. So I put everything in 1 case and rearranged things around so both of the MP-1 and the VHT have proper air venting going on.

I put the MP-1 at the top because there is about 1/2 rack space in between the top and the first top from the unit, which gives the MP-1 some room to breath. The VHT's air vents on its top panel are not covered by anything... so it can breath no problem.

You mean the Randall poweramp? or a Randall head?

You can find a used VHT 2502 for around $700usd+.

- 3TM (3 Tube Mod from www.adadepot.com)
- Noise Mod
- Front/Rear Input Jack Mod
- MDRT Replacement Transformer

Thats about it.. I had sent mine to MarshallJMP whos the Tech on the ADA Depot's board from Belgium and he did all those mods for me.

What about that picnic blanket? What is that component? Is it a high-frequency filter or is it a ketchup filter? Does it get the Brown sound?

J/K. That stuff all looks cool. I am curious about playing a VHT after all the good things I have read about them. Frankly, don't think I've ever read anything negative about them.

The picnic blanket is a limited edition one. Only couple were made.. they're true bypass and have excellent tone to them

hahaha.. actully I just use it to possibly help take out some vibration coming from the cabinet at high volume to the rack. Also I didnt want to scratch the top of the cabinet, so I put that blanket on there.

so far.. I havent had any complaints about the VHT.. cab or Poweramp. both have been great.

thanks! I like the Flying V but I am not too big on the EMGs tone. I use it mainly as a backup.. or whenever I feel like riffing some Death and/or Black metal
